Surgeon Testimonial

Alberto Aceves M.D., F.A.C.S.
I'm a 26 year old mommy of two who traveled solo to Mexico to have VSG by Dr Aceves. I thought I would be really nervous, but I was at ease the entire trip! I was picked up by the driver at the San Diego airport and driven to Mexicali to the hospital. I hate having my blood drawn, and they were able to get my vein the first try! ( I have very small, deep veins) the hospital was VERY clean and the staff was. So friendly! I felt at home! After testing we were driven to a nice hotel a few minutes away. There was a very nice, inexpensive restaurant that I ate at for dinner. It was really good! The hotel room was nice and big! The next morning we were picked up and brought to the hospital for surgery. Dr Aceves came in as well as the other Drs to let me know what would happen and answer any questions. Dr Aceves put all my nerves to rest and I was excited! After surgery my pain was very little! The nurses took great care of me! The Drs all came to check on me several times during my hospital stay! It's now been almost three weeks since surgery and I'm feeling great! My tiny incisions Are almost gone! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Aceves to Anyone and everyone! He's awesome and his work is impeccable!!!!

My Story

Hi everyone! I'm a 26 year old mommy of two. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. The only time I was skinny and felt great about how I looked was when I wasn't eating. Sad. When I married my husband two years ago and looked at wedding pics it was the first time I'd seen pics of myself and thought, "omg I'm so embarrassed with how I look." I'm 5'9 and weighed 225, the most I had ever weighed up until that point. I was scheduled for lap band surgery in november of 2009 in Mexico, and found out I was pregnant 5 days before surgery. I thank God because I love my little man, and looking back I really don't think lap band was right for me. At the time of delivery I weighed an all time high of 265 pounds. I was so hoping the weight would drop off, as it did with my first pregnancy. I did lose some weight from watching what I eat using my fitness pal, and exercising. I haven't been able to get below 230 pounds since my son was born in august 2010. With the support of my amazing husband, I'm going to Mexicali, Mexico to have my surgery on November 4 with Dr. Aceves. I've done tons of research online and feel like he's the one I want to do my VSG. I'm nervous because I will be leaving my one year old and five year old at home with my husband, and traveling solo. I know that this is what I want so I'm trying to not be scared, and to just go for it! I wish everyone luck on their own journey! I will try and update as much as possible!
